Colasanti grew up in Peapack-Gladstone, New Jersey. She attended Bernards High School in Bernardsville, and then attended the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, where she majored in Astrophysics/Earth and Space Science with a minor in Psychology. During her senior year, she posed for Playboy's "Women of the Ivy League" pictorial, which was published in the magazine's October 1995 issue.

Colasanti moved to Manhattan in 1996, completed a master's degree from New York University in science education and physics teaching, and worked for 10 years as a high-school teacher of earth science, physics, and meteorology in Manhattan and the South Bronx.

Her first novel, When It Happens, was published in 2006. In 2007, she left her teaching position to become a full-time writer. She has since written 10 other young adult novels, including the City Love series. She lives in New York City.
